Specification Development Process Overview

Rated Life (proposed)

EPA is proposing a rated life requirement of 15,000 hours for all LED omnidirectional lamps

• This matches the current requirement for decorative

LED lamps.

• Based on the FTC reporting requirements, this

equates to 13.7 years based on 3-hour/day operation.

• At the same time EPA is proposing to tighten the

requirements for passing the life and lumen maintenance test by requiring that all units (versus the current 9 of 10) be operational throughout the duration

• f life testing.

Rated Life - Questions

• 1. EPA has only received suggestions that rated

life be reduced for omnidirectional products. Is there any interest in reducing rated lifetime requirement for directional lamps?

• 2. EPA has received some confidential pricing

and performance quality information related to lifetime. Is there any additional information EPA should examine for considerations of lifetime?

Omnidirectionality (current)

Omnidirectionality (proposed)

Power Factor

EPA is proposing to lower the minimum power factor requirement for LED lamps to 0.5, consistent with the current requirement for CFLs. Questions: 1. EPA has received some confidential pricing information related to power factor. Is there any additional pricing information EPA should examine for considerations for the minimum power factor requirement? 2. Is there any research on potential market implications for reducing power factor that EPA should be aware?

Efficacy (proposed for 2017)

Lamp Type ENERGY STAR Requirements

Reported values for each lamp model shall meet the applicable requirement in the table below. Additionally eight or more units individually shall meet the requirement.

Minimum Lamp Efficacy (initial lm/W) CRI ≥ 90 CRI < 90 Omnidirectional 70 80 Directional 61 70 Decorative 65

Efficacy – Question

Question: is there additional information EPA should consider on this issue?
